JRE not recognized

[deanmand]

OpenOffice 4.1.7 on Windows 10
When I try to add the jre1.8.0_271 in Java folder under program files x86 using tools options it does not automatically detect the file. When I do a manual add it reports the error that there is not a JRE in the Java folder. But there is!
I did this OK on my desktop PC but it will not work on my laptop. I cant see any difference in the files on both machines.

The jre needs to be the 32 bit version. Is that what you have? Download here https://www.filepuma.com/software/java_software-35/. Scroll down the page to find to correct download.
